Answer:

y=0.5x + 5

Explanation:

The points are (0,5) and (-10,0)

to find the slope do

0-5/-10-0 = 5/10 = 1/2 = 0.5

next plug one of the points into point slope formula

y-y1=m(x-x1)

lets use the point (-10,0)

y1=0

x1= -10

m= 0.5

y-0=0.5(x- -10)

y = 0.5(x+10)

distribute the 0.5

y=0.5x+5
